3. Throwing away food is like
stealing from the table of those
who are poor and hungry.
POPE FRANCIS
4. What is food waste?
Food waste can be defined as ‘any
potential source of food that has
knowingly been discarded or
destroyed,’ e.g., food discarded in
factories, food not sold in shops or
restaurants, kitchen scraps, and plate
waste.
Encyclopedia of Food Sciences and
Nutrition (Second Edition), 2003
FOOD LOSS VS FOOD
WASTE
5. FOOD WASTE
- a component of food loss) is any removal of food
- which has spoiled or expired, mainly caused by
economic behaviour, poor stock management or
neglect.
FOOD LOSS
- The decrease in quantity or
quality of food.
- Production and distribution
segments of the food supply
chain
UN's Save Food initiative, the FAO, UNEP, and stakeholders
11. 88 million tonnes of food - wasted annually in the EU
estimated at 143 billion Euros.
Industrialized and developing countries – respectively
670 and 630 million tonnes.
FWL of 1.3bn tonnes - enough to feed 3 billion people.
Fruits and vegetables, plus roots and tubers have the highest
wastage rates
US$ 680 bn in industrialized countries & US$ 310 bn in developing
countries
FOOD WASTE FACTS
12. 1/4th of the food currently lost or wasted globally saved
- enough to feed 870 mn hungry people in the world.
Latin America could feed 300 million people.
By 2050 the world population will reach 9 billion.
Africa could feed 300 million people.
Europe could feed 200 million people.
Food waste facts
14. Food losses during harvest and in storage - lost income
for small farmers & higher prices for poor consumers.
Every year, consumers in rich countries waste (222 mt)
as the entire net food production of sub-Saharan Africa
(230 mt).
Equivalent to more than half of the world’s annual cereals crop (2,3 bt
in 2009/2010).
In Sub-Saharan Africa, the post harvest food losses are estimated to
worth of US$ 4 billion per year – or enough to feed at least 48 million
people.
Food waste facts
15. In developing countries 40% post-harvest and processing
industrialized countries >40% of losses - retail and
consumer levels.
Per capita waste by consumers : 95-115 kg a year in
Europe and North America,
In sub-Saharan Africa, south and south-eastern Asia,it is
6-11 kg a year.
At retail level - quality standards that over-emphasize appearance.
Major squandering of resources, including water, land, energy,
labour and capital - GHG , global warming and climate change.
Food waste facts
16. In developing countries - early stages of the food
value chain
In medium- and high-income countries - later stages in the
supply chain.
Food waste facts
SDG of UN - sept 2015, 12.3: By 2030, halve per capita
global food waste at the retail and consumer levels and
reduce food losses along production and supply chains,
including post-harvest losses
17. The EU and Member States are committed to meeting
the UN(SDG), adopted in September 2015
In September, 2015, in alignment with UN SDG 12.3, the USDA
and EPA announced the first ever domestic goal to reduce USA’s
food loss and waste by half by the year 2030.

18. 67 million tonnes - valued at around `92,000 crores;
enough to feed all of Bihar for a year
Annually, close to 21 mn mt of wheat rots in India - Australia’s
total annual production
Food wastage crisis- India
According to the BMC, Mumbai generates close to 9,400
metric tonnes of solid waste per day, from which 73% is
food, vegetable, and fruit waste, while only 3% is
plastic.
The garbage dumps in Mumbai are as tall as five or six
storey buildings
19. Delhi generates around 9000 metric tonnes of waste
per day, with the country’s largest landfill located in
East Delhi.
This landfill is 70 acres vast and contains close to 12
million tonnes of waste that are as high as 50 feet.

20. ‘The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the world,
2017’ report (FAO), 190.7 million people are
undernourished in India.
14.5% of the Indian population - largest undernourished
population in the world.
Food wastage crisis- India
40% of the food produced in India is wasted or lost.
This cost India one lakh crore rupees every year.(UN)
21. India wastes Rs 244 crore worth of

27. Major causes of FLW - developed
countries
EXCESS
Producing larger quantities of
food than is needed
FAIRNESS
The cost of discarding products
is cheaper than using or re-using
CONSUMER
STANDARDS
High consumer ‘appearance
quality standards’
CARE
Supermarkets carry large
quantities and varieties of
products
28. Major causes of FLW - developing
countries
INFRASTRUCTURE
poor storage facilities, including
cold storage, and lack of
infrastructure
POOR HANDLING
loss of quality, nutritional value
and profit.
PROCESSING
Not enough processing facilities
MARKETING
Insufficient market facilities that
provide acceptable storage and
retail conditions.
35. THE HIDDEN RESOURCES
A total of 1.4 bn ha of land was needed to grow the amount of
food that is annually wasted, an area three times the size of the
European Union!
750 billion – 1 trillion dollars are thrown away each year
But if we count the value of the environment that has been
destroyed to make the food we throw away, then we can add an
additional 700 billion dollars to the bill.
36. THE HIDDEN RESOURCES
The carbon footprint of wasted food is 3.3 Gt of greenhouse
gases annually.
One apple alone requires 125 l to grow. If we order a 200 g
chicken steak for lunch, we are asking the waiter for 865 l of
water.
If the meat is instead beef, we are asking for 3,083 l of water,
which is enough to grow 10 kg of potatoes.
Food in landfills releases methane when it starts rotting
39. RECYCLING
Since 2001, a food recycling law in Japan
sets recycling targets for businesses
